Employee grows tired of coworker who keeps "borrowing" their phone charger without asking, swaps it with an old charger to force coworker to stop: 'He finally brought his own'

Every office has the 'Designated Coworker' who always has everything in their desk drawer. Need a pen? Here, just pick a color. Your phone ran out of battery? They have 3 different chargers. Your socks got wet on the way to work? They have a new pair and a heater to warm up next to.

For every designated coworker of this kind, you have one who arrives at the office with nothing but the clothes on their body. Everything they use is borrowed, and they have no issues with asking anyone in the office for anything, every single minute of every day.

At some point, the two coworkers must clash. There is no chance that the organizing employee is fine with their coworker taking everything off their desk because they fail to bring what they need with them. Some day, they must do something to force the entitled coworker to stop.

Which is exactly why the employee in the story below decided to take revenge on a coworker who kept stealing their phone charger.
